IF IT'S BROKE, FIX IT
..One positive trend that may come out of the Free Trade debate and how the U.S. is losing out to China and India because of cheap labor is that businesses here will be forced to either innovate or close shop. Unfortunately, that is the reality we find ourselves in the global arena right now.
PULLING THE PLUG
..Q&A with George Robinson of the New York Times regarding subway trains:
Q: I'm baffled by the new posters in the subway explaining what to do in emergencies that discourage use of the emergency cord. When is it O.K. to pull the cord?
A: Good question and, despite what some might think, a serious one.
This is the answer, from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's own Web page: "Use the emergency cord only to prevent an accident or injury. For example, if someone gets caught between closing subway car doors and is being dragged, pull the cord.
"But if your train is between stations and someone aboard becomes ill, do not pull the emergency cord. The train will stop, preventing medical professionals from reaching the sick passenger. A sick person is better off if the train goes to the nearest station where police and medical services will be waiting or can be quickly summoned, without interruption."

I'M BACK!
..I've been hibernating for the past week. It took Saddam's capture to wake me up from my week-long slumber. I wonder what must be going on in that nuthead's mind when he was captured. Self-help experts are no match for this guy and his version of mind over matter. He seems unfazed about the implications of his capture and even unrepentant of the things he has done in the past. Truly a genuine horrific pyschopath.
